    Hi guys
    My bike has a 1/5th quick throttle fitted and its driving me mad!!!!
    I didnt fit it and find the bike really hard to ride with it so........

    You have got to feather the clutch a bit more, but otherwise you'll get used to it. Best thing is that they stop wrist ache on a fast rideout...

    Never had a problem with mine hrc q a throttle ,if your not comfortable with it you will need a new sleeve and cables about £100 I have a new set off a 600 if you can find out if they will fit your blade you can have for half bat ask Arthur he may know I ain't 100% sure
